50 Examples Of “Chaotic Good” Behavior, As Shared In This Online Group (New Pics)
We’ve all heard the age-old question: are humans inherently good or bad? That debate may never be settled, but there’s no denying the incredible acts of kindness happening all around us.
And some take it to a whole new level! Over on the subreddit r/chaoticgood, as the name suggests, users share good deeds done in playful, often unexpected ways. Think funny notes left in library books or flowers planted secretly in neglected park corners.
Below, you’ll find more of these wholesome moments and a chat with Brooke Tansley, author of Small Good Things.

Fake Free WiFi For Good
This has been going around BP for a while now, I'd love an update...
Yeah, I am SO bored of this story being recycled over and over again.
Load More Replies...If we can let's help out our neighbors. I would have been the type that would have been too stubborn to ask for help so this is a great gesture.😁
At this point in history, internet access is almost considered a necessity. It really should be free…and I know that in some places outside the US, it actually is. But internet companies make too much $$ by privatizing it and making you pay more to “upgrade” the speed and coverage every year or so.
Even though the term ‘chaotic good’ implies not sticking to societal norms, the subreddit emphasizes that there are boundaries which need to be respected.
The mods, who oversee a community of 331K members, say that rule breaking should be achieved without cruelty or intimidation. By their definition, embracing chaotic good means valuing not just your own freedom and welfare, but everyone else’s.
A Very Effective Method Indeed
Wish they would do that in South Africa. Our black rhino population is EXTREMELY endangered. BTW, if you go to the Kruger Park or another game park here, do NOT geotag your photos! Poachers can find the exact locations of the animals you photographed.
It’s a good measure to start with, but it doesn’t really change the fact that the people who want the horns are usually the ones paying for somebody to get the horns for them, not the ones doing the hunting. These people won’t care if their poacher dies, they’ll just pay another one until someone succeeds.
Simple and effective. We need more Kaziranga rangers out there stopping all poachers.
Don't forget to sell their body parts for phoney medication afterwards.
Did you hear what Cambodia did after the Khmer Rouge fell? The men who had been indoctrinated with communist ideology and had used violence weren't equipped for the civil society the new government wanted to build. So they hired ex-soldiers as game wardens, protecting the natural habitats, capable of killing poachers, giving them jobs, and not forcing them to spend all their time around people. They could slowly acclimatize to a peaceful society.
Goodness can be a transformative experience. Brooke Tansley, known for her roles as a TV & film producer, actress, and entrepreneur, told Bored Panda that kindness turned her life around.
“I was feeling like I was in a sad funk and I didn’t really know how to snap out of it. I woke up in the middle of the night remembering that it feels good to do good things for other people,” she shared. So, she thought about her next move.
At first, Brooke considered diving into a volunteering project, but with work and two little kids, she knew it’d be tough to maintain. Instead, she went for a more manageable approach: practicing small acts of kindness.
Desantis Gets A Taste Of His Own Medicine
This happened in Utah. A right-wing school board in northern Utah started banning books, and a guy submitted the Bible based on the adultery, violence, sex, and death.
Also incest, Lot and his daughters spring to mind, talk about your perverted fantasy...and he was the righteous one, first he tries to give his daughters to the towns sinners, then he gets drunk and has sex with them himself, hot on the heals of watching his wife turn into a pil,ar of salt for looking back on the town full of sinners being destroyed....
Load More Replies...This also happened in Utah, when a school district started banning books, a guy submitted the Bible to be banned. LOL.
Yes, infanticide is not only mentioned in the Bible (Exodus and the Gospels) but that "song" that Boney M sang, "Rivers of Babylon"? The lyrics are from Psalm 137, which ends: "Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones." Yeah, they left that part out of the hit song.
could we stop with the censorship? Infanticide is In what word is infanticide any better than the other ones? You censor b********y, but killing children is less traumatising? Just grow up please...
I wholeheartedly agree. I find it ironic that BoredPanda continues with their idiotic censorship crusade in a post about fighting back against censorship and book banning. This site has some of the worst censorship I’ve ever seen. It’s truly disturbing 😳
Load More Replies...Florida: What other books can we ban?! Random dude: THE BIBLE Christians: NO
The Definition Of Chaotic Good
This has literally been on the “things that never happened” threads
The "unnecessary adverb" threads are worth checking out as well..
Load More Replies...My boss tells me a story of a very dedicated parking attendant that used to look after his and his friends' car whenever they went out to this one bar they liked. Says they always tipped him well, or brought him back a plate of food from wherever they went after partying. One cold winter night, they got plastered and parking man refused to let them drive. Ended up taking each of the guys to their houses and arranged the club to leave the car there overnight. Boss is pretty sure he saved their lives a couple of times from being stupid and young.
To spread positivity, Brooke Tansley does several things. “I made a New Year’s resolution to always tell someone when I think a nice thought about them,” she recounted.
As a former Broadway star, she takes advantage of her talent: “Sometimes I’ll record myself singing a song with the voice memo app in my phone and send it to someone if I think it would speak to them.”

Load More Replies...Hurt my cat, I will end you! I had a 70+ year old roommate/sublet who I discovered several weeks after the fact that she'd poisoned my Seal Point Siamese Cat, Gibby with antifreeze in his water dish! The ONLY reason I left her alive is I didn't want to spend the rest of my life in prison. How did I find out? She got drunk (this was a sober living house) and told me how she took care of the problem "My Cat"! I picked her up by the throat, slammed her head into the concrete block wall 2-3 times. I knew I was losing it, I truly wanted to murder her! So I squeezed her around the throat as hard as I could, told her she's better sober her a$$ up cause I was kicking her out and she'd better be gone before I left for work!
Oh friend. I don't know how you let her live. Took some serious self restraint.

Brilliant move. But as a boomer who loathes that sort of assholery from anyone regardless of age, I chafe at your ascribing it to us. We are not a monolith. Many of us are still the liberals we were in the '60s and '70s. Don't overlook allies by assuming our thinning gray hair and crackling joints puts us on opposite sides of thedecency and courtesy spectrum. Keep up the good work.

Cities will do everything to 'solve' a problem except actually solving the problem.
What I mean by sad but true is the homeless population in my city (as much as i love it) staggering. I give thumbs up to these people who do this. There needs to be more options for the homeless. I wish I has the resources to find a way to help.
Load More Replies...Wasn’t there a study done that found it was cheaper to house homeless people than it was to build anti-homeless architecture? Correct me if I’m wrong tho idk 😭
That's awesome, those "anti-homeless" torture devices are pure evil
I hear about students who protested in similar way- there was passage where homeless people were sleeping and city decided to instal defensife metal spikes- students put pallets over spikes ,added some mattresses and turned place into comfortable couches/beds.

My grandfather and his wife effectively brainwashed themselves with that channel. Fox "News" all day every day for a few decades and they were completely zombified. My grandfather believes so many stupid conspiracy theories toward the end. Completely alienated the rest of the family. It was really sad.

If we could only block the Russian propaganda on social media.
Fox isn’t news. It is objectively propaganda. People who don’t watch any news program at all are better informed than fox “news” watchers.

Wanting to inspire others to brighten their lives in a simple way, Tansley created the Small Good Things journal. She encourages readers to do one good thing each day for yourself or someone else, write it down and reflect on it.

A local salad shop had their pride flag stolen and thrown in a dumpster. The next day they painted a rainbow on the front of their shop. There's no ordinances about paint colors on buildings where I live so nothing anyone can do about it.

The villain in the story’s name is Haman. During Purim, when we read the story out loud in synagogue, whenever his name is mentioned, it’s tradition to make a lot of noise or use a noisemaker called a grager. We’re basically booing the villain. Also, he doesn’t show up until the third chapter. That’s when the fun starts.

Leonard Nimoy, the man who originally played Spock in Star Trek, did a song called "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins". The video included him and five young women dressed as cheerleaders. I strongly recommend it for your journey through Middle Earth.
Load More Replies...For those wondering, whenever the H name (the name of the dude who wanted to commit genocide against Persian Jews, name's H A M A N) is mentioned, you either shake your grogger (noisemaker) or shout BOO to drown it out. Then we eat a treat - it's delicious, hamentashen are great - which in Hebrew means "[BOO]'s ears." And there are costumes. TL;DR: Purim is great if you don't mind noise (if you do I have bad news) and I just wanted to mention that.
When Your Dr*g Dealer Is Worried About You
Sad when the best healthcare you can get is from your d**g dealer. But kudos to the dealer for caring more for his customers than what he can earn from them. If only pharmaceutical companies acted like this..
Reminds me, in the UK a while ago a man K***ed 2 young girls, like not even in their teens. He had a history of a similar thing. All the local Manchester d**g dealers collectively got together and offered 50k for the first person to put him in the ground. This was like 10years ago or so, the money offered keeps going up, and the guy lives in solitary all his life. Keeps popping up in the news that he's in hospital because he's been attacked, injured, hurt.... Makes me smile every time I see it in the news, I really hope the kids family get something from knowing the UK justice system caught him, but it's locals that are making the scumbag hurt. Also heard that the amount on offer now is even tempting prison guards to look the other way
Load More Replies...I had a friend who decided to get clean, and told her dealer. They made sure she was blacklisted all over town. The kicker? He tabulated how much she had spent in the past year. Nearly $50,000. He'd give her back a hundred dollars every month she stayed clean.
Thanks, y'all. It meant the world for her having a living spot, and motivation. She's doing well, and leads meetings for NA.
Load More Replies...One of the women I was in prison with was there for dealing d***s. While in prison, she was terrified of breaking rules or getting in trouble, even the very minor rules that everyone broke. For instance, you couldn't go into another inmate's room. Any time someone was caught visiting inside their friend's room, the staff member would just tell them to get out. No yelling, no incident report, or anything. Abby refused to enter another person's room. One day, I asked her how she could sell d***s, as breaking rules freaked her out so badly. She answered, "I did it in my garden. I was comfortable there."
In my mid 20s and I left an abusive relationship and ended up living in an absolutely not cool part of town. The main dealer in the area decided I was cool and put out the word that no one could touch me and I was to be protected. No one was allowed to court me, buy me food, give me gifts, even help me carry bags (grooming) Nothing. Blanket "Do not approach, and don't let anyone else" 100% that guy saved me.
BP bans both drügs and dïcks. At first, I read all the comments with "one woman was dealing dïcks". I had a good laugh!
Occasionally, Brooke gets creative and channels chaotic good, just like the users of the subreddit. She once made business cards with a drawing of a snail that said, “This is the Happiness Snail just wishing you happiness!” Another time, she printed a set of cards with the message “I hope you eat something yummy today!”
Flying An Ukrainian Flag Is The Cherry On Top
F*U*C*K Putin!!! He has committed crimes against humanity. Take all of his wealth, every single ruble. Give it all to Ukraine to help rebuild after Russia is defeated. Along with all the wealth from the bootlicking Russian oligarchs who enable Putin as well. *edit to defeat BP censors.
Putin associates with Trump and invades the Ukraine. If he were a decent person, he'd do the opposite.
Load More Replies...My Ukrainian coworker had breakdown and was crying in work, because her brother was killed while defending his coutry. And there are still a******s who said that Putin does good thing.
One of the sister cities of my small town is in Ukraine. Sometimes there were buildings here, I called the Ukrainian embassy there were so many flags. And who cannot love a flag that depicts the country it is from. Gold field of wheat or sunflowers with a blue sky.
I know it's a terrible thought to even have cross through my mind, but I wish he would have a brain stroke/fatal disease/fall down the stairs/have someone take him out of his misery. Out of Ukraine's misery actually.

Around here we all knew women who lived with their GF or a man who lived with his BF. It was acceptable & private what they did behind closed doors. But if your parents warned you that someone was "kinda funny" it scared you to death & you avoided them. Then again, back in the day, our fathers were hard working & hard drinking types. If any of those types messed with you, they'd be sorry. No cops involved. Those people were molesters.
Someone Crashed The Tennessee Pastor's Book Burning Pogrom
I find it incredible that a religion does what Nazis used to do. This is a sad world. HOWEVER, I wish I would have seen that, I would have peed myself laughing.

Load More Replies...I hear Satanists are not all that bad. They just see the hypocrisy of Christianity but don't totally disbelieve Christianity. I hope that makes sense.
I've no personal experience but I understand it to be a mostly atheist "church". They don't believe in or worship a literal Satan. It's hard to separate out the real beliefs from the irony and trolling but it seems to be basically libertarian, tending towards anarchist.

Ever think that Lucifer is the good guy, and that's why he got kicked out? And brainless idiots believe otherwise because of propaganda? A "god" that has people commit genocide, instead of doing it himself?
The people who do this are insane, I’ve never met a Pastor who would even think of doing this, they have even spoken out about it.
The pastor's name is Greg Locke and his church isn't far from where I live. I heard him preach when he was just a young man starting out. He was traditional, but wasn't so off the rails then. You know the saying "sex sells" or "if it bleeds, it leads"? There is big money in appalling people. That is why it's called "shock value". Greg Locke is the extreme Christian version of this.
Tansley also took part in organizing a flash mob marriage proposal for a friend, involving choreographed dance videos. “Around 70 people and one dog traveled from lots of different places to do this, [...] and she said yes!”

Sadly all that will likely happen is the bride and her family will get a beating. Call the Police
If parents agreed to this, it was probably legal. At least in some countries (and way too many states in the US) it is. So the police would just ignore it.
Load More Replies...I heard about similar case a few years ago - 15 years old girl was forced to marry some man by her family. A marriage officiant refused to officiate and called the police.
Different cultures. The UN considers combat aged males as 15 to 50 years of age. Worked with the Iraqi military who had 15 year old soldiers. We did have families come thru as refugees that the Iraqi soldiers told us that they were perverts or religious nutjobs. In that part of the world there is a common saying: "Girls are for babies, boys are for fun". It's not their religion that promotes that. It's a carry over from the ancient Greeks.
I think one of our officers (US military) got in trouble for beating up a so called ally in Afghanistan for molesting boys.
Don't approve either. But to know how much and in which way, I need to know the age of the husband. 16 - unwise. 46 - shameful.
I doubt the beating would have happened if they were both teenagers.

Nice to know: The Latin word salarium means salary or 'salt ration'. This is because they used salt as a means of payment and exchange. For example, the Romans paid soldiers and officials with salt. Salt was then called 'white gold' because salt allowed you to preserve food for longer.
Publish a list of employers who actually answer the question and who don't. Useful information for job seekers.
I did this once. I really wasn't looking for a new job, but a recruiter contacted me and offered me a ridiculously low salary for something I knew the average pay was at least $3 to $4 higher per hour... And told her that the job paid too low and everyone I knew who was doing that type of job was paying paid $3 to $4 higher per hour.
Is that really working, though? Usually employers will just move on to the next candidate who will accept their initial offer.
I don't think it works. Any self-respecting companies know the prevailing market labour rate in their industries. There are various ways they can get this info (trade org, research firms, etc) Whether they choose to match the prevailing rate or not is a different story.

In one study, participants who performed multiple good deeds for seven consecutive days reported increased happiness. Another study found that people who regularly helped others felt more confident, capable, and fulfilled.

Ok. Where is this even legal???? Please don’t say the States, cause I’m getting really tired of them!!
Technically, that means conversion therapy works. His patient was converted from a scared, worried and sad person to someone who was proud, happy and thriving.
I don't usually believe changing the system from the inside works, but I love this. I want these camps legally banned, but until then I want undercover allies leading all conversion "therapy" sessions.
I thought about getting a job at a conversion camp and then supporting the kids through talk or getting them the heck out. I have acreage they could stay there. A tent in a field is better than those camps.
Load More Replies...Amazing how some states allow conversion therapy, even for minors, and these same states (and others) firmly believe children are entirely too young to know anything about sex. One thing their religion certainly teaches is blindness to irony.

The warm feeling that appears when you do something nice for someone is often called the ‘helper’s high’, a concept coined by Allan Luks in the '80s. It suggests that being generous and selfless not only feels rewarding but also promotes longevity and resilience.

Yeah, I'm having trouble with this one myself. It's a skateboard park?.... 🛹 Skateboarders trade in skateboards for noisier dirt bikes..😁
Load More Replies...What is wrong with skateboarding. I've never did it, but the kids are enjoying outdoors, not running the streets, and not staring at their phone
I feel the same. Sure, I don't like the ones who do it dangerously around people and cars, where they're not supposed to, such as in malls. But most kids are at the skate parks and empty parking lots skateboarding. It's an impressive skill. I've tried just stepping onto a skateboard and immediately falling on my a*s a few times. It takes some serious balance and finness.
Load More Replies...So let's pay to build skate parks, and then pay more to destroy them because there being used for there intended perpuos?
Why even have a skateboard park in the first place? We have at least two in my city and it's great how all the kids go there to have fun. The bigger one even hosts regular competitions!
We live in a small town with a skate park. My kids are young and really can't do alot of jumps or tricks but they try, and when its empty they like trying to run up or roll down the ramps. Whenever more experienced kids show up I make sure we give them a wide berth. And every time the older kids have responded it was okay and they shared the space and showed patience for they younger ones. In fact, they usually wind up teaching them new tricks.
Chaotic Good Masquerading As Lawful Evil
I dunno, this could be one of those "don't attribute to conspiracy that which can be explained by incompetence"" kind of deals. Just as likely to be a f*****t using corrosive cleaning products
I thought a simple solution to the Confederate statue issue was to leave them be and charge $5 to spray paint them. The city can then use the money to maintain the park. And people would have a fun emotional outlet to regularly vent their anger at racism.
Sounds incredble, or it might be just incompetence. In my city, there is a statue of Carlos IV of Spain on horseback. When the statue was in need of maintenance, city officials had it "cleaned" and accidentally corroded the horse's legs. The statue is of historical importance and the work of famous artist, so the city had the pay to the nose for experts to restore it.
Calling the person a "famous white colonizer" makes me think this was in South Africa. They've taken down a bunch of those statues now. Yay.
Could be Columbus. There's a reason I now almost always refer to the nearby state capital as CBus. People from hours away and even out of state freaked out when a statue of him was quietly removed. Afaik, it has not been put back. Too bad changing the city's name has stalled

I follow this guy on instagram and tiktok. His whole deal is he goes around trolling conservatives and posting it online. It’s hilarious.
There is a radio station in Seattle that give out the 'loser line' number to anyone who wants it. The idea is to give it to anyone bothering you for your number in the hopes they will then leave you alone. They then use the recordings of the 'losers' on the radio. Some are hilarious!

Kennedy is such a joke. He tries to act like Foghorn Leghorn, but he was educated at Vanderbilt and Oxford, yes, the one in England. And he was one of the GOP senators who flew to Moscow and groveled in front of Putin on July 4, 2018.

He's a John Kennedy of the "Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for Donald Trump." type.
From what I've read, more a case of, 'Ask not what your country can do for you - we'll tell YOU what to do'
Load More Replies...I've always said that those who are critical of the police (yes, like every other job/career there are bad ones, but don't tar all Police as bad when they aren't.) should have signs in their homes saying that whatever happens they don't want the Police contacted. e.g. see someone breaking in? Just go on your way. See the homeowner being assaulted? Don't worry, they don't want the Police involved.
the people who truly want police as an institution dismantled and defunded aren't usually in favor of there simply being NO police anymore. it's more that the funding and personnel would be vastly more useful for many of the things police are called to do that really shouldn't be anything they deal with, like mental health crises and d**g issues. if someone actually has a weapon and is threatening people, call the police. otherwise, there are other individuals who aren't broadly armed and extremely twitchy who could help.

At Least He Had Good Intentions
When I was in highschool we had this truly idiotic uniform code where us girls had to wear light summer dresses for a set part of the year regardless of the weather. We'd be standing around outside the classrooms freezing to death and lunchtime was even worse. So one day I brought in a big, thick warm doona from off my bed. I instantly gained three new best friends. (The stupid rule was eventually changed, thank goodness).
As a teacher, I also can't stop laughing and would not be able to even get the words out to tell this kid he can't bring a toaster to school.
Why did he get in trouble? What a great idea! If I was his teacher, I'd applaud him (and ask for a pop tart).
Little guy knows to share, even knew that untoasted Pop-Tarts are no good

i put extra cheese on all the tacos and mexican pizzas when i worked at taco bell. and more tomatoes, when applicable. at the time the rules were something like "5 pieces of diced tomato is approximately 1/4 oz" or whatever and that was paltry portioning.

I lived on a dirt road, right at the end of our paved driveway there were so many potholes you couldn't avoid them. Since I was doing some landscaping I started filling these in; at first people didn't understand why I was watering the dirt down; several middle finger salutes later they realized why, apologized, brought me bottles of water! No matter what I did, every breakup (spring for you Lower 48's) they'd appear again.
A guy did this in my country. Everyone thought he was a hero. Was issued with a cease and desist by the local council.

After the trip l learned that it was a luxury trip all paid by the insurance company she works for...as a reward for filling their quotas. 30 something people at top tier hotels and restaurants for 9 days. They even had an event to show next year's trip (to Shanghai), to motivate them to keep squeezing their clients. I didn't hold back and told my friend that was disgusting.
Look up the case of Nataline Sarkisyan. An HMO murdered her in the name of profit. They refused to approve her surgery, but they also refused to deny it. The family could appeal a "No" decision, but by saying, "we haven't decided", they could not legally do anything. They finally "approved" it, AFTER she was too far gone and her condition was terminal. [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Nataline_Sarkisyan ]
My child uses a wheelchair. And when she outgrows one, we donate to someone in need because my insurance will pay for one that fits.

Load More Replies...What’s amazing to me is that many people are legitimately a lot more concerned about fictitious property damage than they are about the very real issue of insurance companies’ practices being highly immoral.
the point of this satire, for the people here on BP who don't understand, is that the normal post about this kind of thing, where a child needs a wheelchair or a prosthetic but they're so expensive, and the high school robotics team helps out by 3d printing one, usually has sensible people going "that's great, but it sucks that health insurance is so godawful that this is the solution".

Scalping products has been out of hand for a long time! I remember when the movie Frozen came out, It was the first movie my 4 year old daughter saw in a theater. She really wanted and Elsa doll. They were $6.50 at walmart and target but people would show up and buy them out whenever they were stocked. They were as high as $50 on ebay. Insanity.
Some years back the Stones (if i remember correctly) were performing in a half empty Hallenstadion in Zürich and THEY WERE PISSED! The venue was sold out however, some aßholes had bought a ton of tickets and later tried to resell them at ridiculously high prices, they couldn't resell them and in the end the concert hall was only half full. The result is now when you try to buy tickets for a group you only can buy two 🤬 and good luck if you try to buy tickets for a group for a really popuar band (like AC/DC). No chance that you get enough tickets 😭

back in the mid 90's i worked at a toy store and we sold holiday barbies. they came in causcasian and african american versions. usually we got 18 of them and the scalpers went crazy for them. except we waited at the roll up gate at the store entrance (mall) with 18 numbered slips of paper for the people lined up before opening. handed out THROUGH the gate so if they didn't line up in an orderly fashion there would be no dolls that day because my boss was all about making customers behave. and no number, no doll. number 1 picks first and so on. since they usually came in a 12/6 split, and almost everyone was a white "reseller", by the time we got to number 13 the vitriol began to fly because we didn't have "the right color doll, i can't resell that!" cool, cool, lady. walk away then. i guarantee you i will sell this doll to some happy kid in the next half hour if you don't want it.
That's how I got a Cabbage Patch Kid in the early/mid eighties. My family didn't care that she was black, and neither did I. Boy, though, the locals sure did.

Yep, many of those against the student debt forgiveness had their own loans forgiven, though not student debt loans. Don't know why you were down voted, you are correct
Load More Replies...What people do not understand is that must student loan payers have paid the initial amount of loans over and over again. The loans that the young college kids get become predatory loans and they BURY the payee with interest fees. I went to nursing school in 1993. Total loans was about $8,000. I paid faithfully for years. It ballooned up to owing over $20, 000! The loan was paid. The school got paid right off the bat with the loans. It was the lenders who wanted to fill their pockets.
The problem is that most of these posts are referring to things that are in the USA, so everyone else has no idea what it is about, and if you ask, some smarta** will tell you to learn to read!

Load More Replies...Tax payers should not have to pay back the massive loans taken out by others! They are busy working and paying off there OWN loans!
FYI the loans are not being paid by taxpayers. The people with the loans are taxpayers who have NOT PAID them off yet. There is no money taking from the government is it money owed TO the government. I owed $15000 and now I owe $32000 after 15 years of deferment because I can't seem to make enough money to even qualify to make a payment, yet I can't get any loans because the student debt damages my credit score. BTW I have always worked 2-4 jobs at a time my entire adult life and still make barely a living wage.

I would upvote for the getting people to vaccinate part buuuuut i cant get over the gaining someones trust to ultimately lie to them part.
Yea im with you on this. Forget about the whole vaccine part. Deceiving someone is never ok.
Load More Replies...I can't figure out why people can be so stupid not to get vaccinated against something that can kill you... but, your choice.. the one's now trying to convince people to not get their dogs vaccinated against rabies??? That's the whole new level of stupid.
I’m assuming that “date” is a euphemism for casual s ex through, like, Tinder or something similar. These are guys would be more interested in just hooking up than going on an actual date. The entirety of their interaction would probably be one or two conversations to convince him to get vaccinated instead of actually building up trust over a period of time…that would take too long. She could casually inquire and convince multiple guys over one or two days through a site for casual hookups and, while it’s deceptive, it’s hardly a huge betrayal of trust if she barely knows more than their name, age, general location, vaccination status and, like, favorite color (probably blue).
I feel like that's a bad idea because then they'll have both a negative association with being vaccinated but will also think poorly of people who advocate for the vaccine.
She ghosts them as part of preventing them from becoming ghosts themselves.
Hostile Pedestrianism
Problem: You're driving up to a pedestrian crossing. There's a pedestrian who wants to use it, which means you have to stop. Solution: STOP. AND. LET. THEM. CROSS!
I do a similar thing on my bike. Have a camera on my helmet rolling when I do, in case they get angry.
There are rules for the road for pedestrians and drivers. If the walk light is on, pedestrians have the right of way, if not, the drivers do. I hope they are following those rules. If there are no lights, and no stop signs, then the pedestrians need to wait until it’s safe to cross. When I’m driving through a parking lot, since I’m going slow already, I will stop to let pedestrians go. Especially if the weather is terrible, since I’m in my nice, comfy car, and they are just trying to get to theirs (or to the store or bus stop.)
Just because you have right-of-way doesn't mean you need to die for it
Nothing like being a pedestrian in a crosswalk and the driver is inching forward while yapping on their cellphone.
There are legitimate reasons a driver can miss seeing someone. Most drivers aren't pricks, but the few who are tend to be very noticeable. Please pay attention when you cross the road, as it keeps everyone safe.
Please pay attention to the road and obey the law when you are behind the wheel of a large, fast machine so you dont kill someone.
Load More Replies...I'm a pedestrian and I do this too. Part of my male privilege I guess, but if someone hits me, it's really gonna damage their car. Especially people who try to make a light and then sit in the crosswalk. I walk in front of them so they have to sit there even if traffic starts moving
i'm not much of a pedestrian due to disabilities, but when driving i use my horn, if someone's tailgating i make sure to go EXACTLY the speed limit and no faster, and if someone's doing something against the law but not immediately dangerous (think not using headlights on a rainy day, not using turn signals) i usually mutter rude things under my breath and/or do the both hands palm up like "wtf dude?". kudos to the hostile pedestrianism though, what a good idea!
As a driver, whenever I want to give someone the middle finger in traffic, I give them a thumbs up instead. The look of sheer confusion on their faces is priceless and it doesn't escalate things.
That’s the middle finger in Iran and Iraq apparently
